Airsoft Handgun Variety Additional Information
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in improving your shots. Handguns, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are generally constructed after real sidearms or miniatures of genuine handguns. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are fully licensed editions of their real firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and visually look identical to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and long lasting types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in colder weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation with temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other types of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cylinder, but they can last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas pistol functionality is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the pistol magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill your propane supply in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the battle or between missions.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra magazines is advised for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can affect these gaskets and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns entertaining to use, yet they can be less useful when shooting at competitors on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols perform the best in springer wars where game players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot will not be called for since the other opponent is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple foes given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are very effective under the proper conditions. Spring pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially over the last few years. The early generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, but the newer designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with enhanced mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A large perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial boost in performance and fire rate by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Take care of modifying the parts and the gun’s wires since you need to consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask an expert gun service technician at your local airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are looking for a deal.
